Pros

Paid training in aesthetic treatments without any previous experience required; 1 free monthly laser treatment (assuming you could actually get on the schedule to redeem it)

Cons

When you look past LaserAway’s curated “slay bestie!” “yasss queen” kitschy social media marketing, you’ll find that this is actually a rather disturbing company. I could write an entire novel about the kind of absolute nonsense that goes on at LaserAway, but I’ll try to keep it brief. All this company cares about is MONEY. LaserAway does not care about its employees or its patients. As a nurse, you will regularly be scrambling to not fall behind on an insanely packed schedule, including double and triple bookings. You’re rushed, patients are made to wait, patients get upset (rightfully so) and then take it out on you even though you have zero control over schedule management. As a nurse you’re working with outdated machines and using/selling LaserAway’s lousy in-house skincare line, all of which customers are tricked into paying top dollar for, some even taking out very large loans to pay for these subpar services. Sales people command the schedule and are extremely predatory, making up all sorts of fascinating lies to clinch a sale. Sometimes they will even rope nurses into their lies and pressure them to also lie to patients to help close a sale. There was actually a lawsuit filed in Washington state last month regarding LaserAway’s fraudulent sales practices, i.e. lying about “limited-time only” sales. The previous clinic I worked out of now has its employees and some of their family members submitting fake 5-star reviews to Google to artificially inflate their clinic’s ratings. That’s just plain pathetic. It’s also very telling of this company’s overall values and practices. To any potential new LaserAway customers or job applicants reading this, turn around, walk away, and don’t look back. Don’t let this company’s contrived “bestie vibesss” fool you.

Pros

Competitive pay and strong training for new aesthetic providers. You’ll gain experience quickly because of the high patient volume.

Cons

LaserAway is a sales company disguised as a medical practice. Revenue consistently comes before patient care and provider well-being. Providers are routinely triple booked, making it nearly impossible to give patients the time and attention they deserve. Rushing through consultations and treatments creates unnecessary stress, increases burnout, and can compromise patient safety. Sales consultants have more influence than licensed medical professionals. Treatments are frequently sold before a provider even evaluates the patient, and nurses are often expected to justify or perform services they may not believe are appropriate. Medical opinions are routinely overshadowed by sales goals. The culture prioritizes quotas, memberships, and packages over ethical, patient-centered care. The PTO policy is extremely poor. Full-time employees receive only about 1.5 weeks of PTO per year, yet you’re expected to keep your schedule open seven days a week. You cannot submit unavailability or reliably schedule appointments in advance without using your already limited PTO. Maintaining any work-life balance is unnecessarily difficult.
